Landing on the deck of a ship in 1718, the four friends are overjoyed to meet Anne Bonny - one of history's very few female pirates. It takes the Adventurers some time to figure out that it's not Anne they must save from being arrested by the British Navy. It is Ben, the cabin boy, whom they must protect. As it turns out, Ben is actually the young Benjamin Franklin and the true reason for their journey. After much excitement and adventure the friends are able to persuade Ben to go back to his "boring" life on shore.
